2. SUMMARY OF EVENTS, FORECAST AND ANTICIPATED RISK

a. The cascading events on 28 September 2018 are catastrophic disaster scenario when major earthquakes triggered near-field tsunami, major liquefaction, and landslides, which resulted in direct damages, impacts, and constrained humanitarian access (AHA Centre). b. According to the Agency for Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics (BMKG) the Palu Koro Fault is the biggest in Sulawesi. It spans across Sulawesi and divide the island into the east and west blocks. The event on 28 September was four times stronger than the fault movements in Sumatera (the inland fault). Since 1900s, Sulawesi have been hit by tsunami 19 times, the latest one brings the number up to 20 times. BMKG stated that until 8 October, 494 aftershocks were recorded. A M 3.9 earthquake occurred on 8 October, 0603 hrs UTC+7 with epicentre located inland at a depth of 10 km below ground surface in the north of Palu city. Palu city and some part of Donggala felt an intensity III MMI.

SITUATION UPDATE 4 c. One of the Data Analysis Node of Sentinel Asia has provided the observation results of satellite ALOS-2 on the potential overall damaged area in Central Sulawesi. Data from this observation has also made available for other partners to analyse.

3. ASSESSMENT OF DAMAGE, IMPACT, AND HUMANITARIAN NEEDS

a. A revised estimation from the National Disaster Management Authority (BNPB) suggest that in total around 2.4 million people were exposed to earthquake intensity V MMI and above in nine cities/regencies in Central Sulawesi, i.e. in Banggai, Banggai Kepulauan, Donggala, Morowali, Palu, Parigi Moutong, Posos, Tojo Una-una, and Toli-toli. The estimation has taken into consideration the 2018 population projection by National Statistical Agency (BPS), see Figure 6 below. From this updated figure, the total population that exposed to earthquake intensity VI and above is around 616,684 in Palu city, Donggala, and Sigi regencies.

b. Table below summarises BNPB’s information on the disaster human impacts in most affected areas in Central Sulawesi (as of 8 October). In total, 1,948 fatalities were confirmed (1 fatality in West Sulawesi). City/Regency Parigi Donggala Sigi Palu city Moutong Human Regency Regency Regency casualties Fatalities 1,539 171 222 15

Injuries Severe injuries: 2,549; Light injuries: 8,130

IDPs 38,621 20,223 15,600 t.b.a.

c. The number of schools damaged reported so far is 2,736 (correct until 8 October) as assessed by Ministry of Education and Culture in Palu, Sigi and Donggala. Ensuring resumption of education and recreational activities of children and adolescent is crucial in the next few weeks of the emergency.

SITUATION UPDATE 7 d. At this point, BNPB indicated that around 66,926 houses may have been damaged, with 98.9% (66,238) of them located in Central Sulawesi Province. BNPB also confirmed 688 houses damaged in West Sulawesi. There is no disaggregated data yet on the severity of the house damage. Note that these figures may increase once the ground verification is available. e. The pictures show the areas affected by liquefaction. The areas affected are 1) Balaroa (Palu Barat District), 2) Petobo (Palu Selatan District), and 3) Biromaru (Sigi Biromaru District). Initial calculations made by BNPB indicated that a total of 430.7 hectares of land area had been inundated due to liquefaction. This had resulted in 3,773 buildings being affected; i.e. including 2 pharmacies, 1 hospital, 1 health centre 1 village office, 1 oprhanage, 1 junior high school, 1 elementary school, and 1 supermarket (Figure 7 to 9).

6. UPDATE ON HUMANITARIAN ACCESS

a. CIQP facilities and process for international assistance can only be done at Balikpapan International Airport. Other point of entry at Halim Perdanakusuma Airport (Jakarta) and Makassar Airport are only designated for domestic / in-country relief items. b. On 5 October 2018, BNPB informed humanitarian partners that ground handling capabilities in Palu Airport is limited. DHL will provide support, meanwhile BNPB will increase trucks and manpower to speed-up relief items mobilisation. In addition, PT Pos Indonesia (Indonesian Post Company) will also support the process. c. According to document from Logistic Cluster, fuel supply in the affected area is improving in currently covering 70% of local demand. BNPB’s press conference on 8 October further confirms that the fuel stock is sufficient for the next 1 week. d. The Pantoloan Sea Port in the outskirt of Palu is still damaged, but can receive RO- ROs and vessels with cranes for offloading.

Recommended actions a. Logistical planning is highly recommended to ensure that bottlenecks are reduced to the minimum. For international donors who have been given the green light, it would be prepare all relevant document prior to landing and after obtaining the clearance from the government. Instead of just trying to prioritise the items and flying them out at whim. It would be best to consult the ASEAN-ERAT or teams on the ground. b. In relation to this point, a tracking database would be highly desirable to support tracking needs, responses and gaps, including encouraging partners to report their activities. This is an ongoing initiative which is worked out by the ASEAN-ERAT team and other relevant stakeholders. Given that the staging area will face logistical constraints as aid starts pouring in, this would better work out if there is an integrated distribution mechanism attached to the tracking database. Such initiative will circumvent fuel availability and transportation constraints. Furthermore, better scheduling of flights can be done. c. Linked to the point above is the availability of fuel to support all operations. Having a steady fuel supply pipeline as offered by Fuel Relief Fund would greatly ease the

SITUATION UPDATE 13

constraints and allow responders to move into areas desperately in need. Deliberation of the utmost priority should be made in consideration to field operations. d. Auxiliary to the sending of the relief items, it is prudent practice to consider the temporary storage and distribution challenges. Having a smart schedule in consideration of the availability of space at the affected site would greatly reduce bottlenecks, risk of tampering or theft of goods. e. It is also essential to support the local government (including technical support from partners if needed) in developing sound and sustainable IDP management plans and structures. The plan should focus on providing temporary shelter while the PDNA process is complete and housing reconstruction is carried out. This should be coupled with recovery plans ensuring the return to normalcy for the affected populace. f. As the hazards are still present despite signs may be suggesting that it is slowing down, it would be crucial to re-establish public information communications channels to disseminate information on available assistance via SMS, television programmes or radio broadcast. The main identified communication channels are: 1) mobile phones, 2) CCM staff, 3) friends, 4) radio broadcast, 5) printed materials. g. Following such a disastrous event, special protection needs of children, women, elderly and vulnerable should be taken into account. This development of focused response plans to meet the immediate needs should include the needs of the vulnerable and disadvantaged populace so that it is inclusive.

7. PLAN OF ACTIONS

AHA Centre’s plans a. AHA Centre will not hold a coordination meeting until further notice, hence humanitarian partners are requested to wait for the letter of acceptance made by BNPB as basis for their operations. In addition, the Information Management Working Group has been setup comprises national and international humanitarian partners, thus flow of information has been sustained and following the in Section 1. Meanwhile, on-site coordination at JOCCIA is maintained and facilitated by ASEAN-ERAT. b. AHA Centre continue to support dissemination of BNPB’s information for regional and international stakeholder through inclusion to its Situation Update. c. A second batch of ASEAN-ERAT will be deployed this week to take over the current operations and continue supporting the Government of Indonesia’s relief efforts on the ground.
